This is such BS! All the training and sacrifice just flew out the window with one step that I've done millions of times! The frustration is unbearable. The anger is rage. Why the hell did this happen ?!? Makes no damn sense. Now I'm supposed to come back from this and be the same player Or better at 35?!? How in the world am I supposed to do that??
I have NO CLUE. Do I have the consistent will to overcome this thing? Maybe I should break out the rocking chair and reminisce on the career that
was. Maybe this is how my book
ends. Maybe Father Time has defeated me...Then again maybe not! It's 3:30am, my foot feels like dead weight, my head is spinning from the pain meds and I'm wide awake. Forgive my Venting but what's the purpose of social media if I won't bring it to you Real No Image?? Feels good to vent, let it out. To feel as if THIS is the WORST thing EVER! Because After ALL the venting, a real perspective sets in. There are far greater issues/challenges in the world then a torn achilles. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, find the silver lining and get to work with the same belief, same drive and same conviction as ever.
One day, the beginning of a new career journey will commence. Today is NOT that day.
"If you see me in a fight with a bear, prey for the bear". Ive always loved that quote. Thats "mamba mentality" we don't quit, we don't cower, we don't run. We endure and conquer.
I know it's a long post but I'm Facebook Venting LOL. Maybe now I can actually get some sleep and be excited for surgery tomorrow. First step of a new challenge.
Guess I will be Coach Vino the rest of this season. I have faith in my teammates. They will come thru.
Thank you for all your prayers and support. Much Love Always.

He needs to call ap and get on those meds.

He'll be fine. Is this his first major injury?

I always find it interesting to get a glimpse into the mind of a competitor. He goes from anger to understanding to wanting to conquer the challenge.

I guess he now knows how Ricky Rubio felt last year after Kobe ran into him and tore his ACL.
Ricky sucked it up and came back. Kobe's not the only athlete who's ever been injured. Shut your mouth and rehabilitate. We don't want to hear anymore of your whining.

He is such a pussy. Plenty of people have had their careers ended by injury or seasons wrecked by injury.

That's actually a pretty good rant. I appreciate his acknowledgement that, even with the disappointment/frustration, his overall quality of life is still pretty good.

I think I may stop hating on Kobe.
